Nyan-turne (feat. KuTiNA)

The track began as a winning entry in the song category of Pump It Up's second user contest. It debuted in Pump It Up M before being officially ported to PHOENIX in version 2.05.0. Musically it takes Chopin's Nocturne Op.9 No.2 and rebuilds it as a vocal piece dressed in chiptune textures. Vocals come once again from KuTiNA, the same singer behind Papasito. Although she is Korean, her vocal delivery and crisp pronunciation are so polished that many players assumed she was a Japanese idol, and the performance drew widespread praise.

When the song moved to the arcade, the artwork and creative staff were swapped out from the M version. The story follows 'Tina', a tsundere heroine with twintails and hair that shades from pale lilac into a coral-pink gradient, who is smitten with the hero 'Pincho', a black-haired, cat-eared butler. His name is an anagram of Chopin, while Tina nods to KuTiNA. As with the Tropicanic BGA from Pump It Up XX, the video packs in cameos from many other PIU BGAs, including Luana, the PHOENIX 2023 mascot, plus characters from Switronic, VECTOR, Neo Catharsis, Nemesis, Dignity and more; one guest, the smiling atomic nucleus from Energizer, belongs to a since-removed song. A scene in which Tina turns into a cat sparked some minor discussion online; illustrator BAMI noted that a cat-ear design had originally been planned before being changed.

For the port, the Single charts from the M version were scrapped entirely and rebuilt from scratch. The song offers Single charts at S4, S7, S11, S16 and S19, Double charts at D12, D17 and D21 (with SUNNY handling the Double set), and a two-player Co-Op. The S11, S16 and S19 charts are designed as patterns spread out in Double style, and the Co-Op is built on the S16 chart as its base.
